  • It doesn’t really stand out

    I listen to four other Sooners football podcasts and this one is pretty generic.

    There’s the requisite amount of homerism from Smith, who also has an extremely annoying habit of swallowing in mid sentence during his long winded Pom Pom waving rants.

    Williams is solid and deserves better support.

  • Recruiting

    This 3 star recruiting isn’t going to cut it in the SEC. No disrespect to the linebackers being brought in but why can’t a head coach that was a linebacker bring in the top tier linebackers to Norman?
